Why have I not received my journal?
Journals are mailed quarterly – March, June, September, December. If you registered after the printing date, generally two weeks before the mailing, you would not receive the journal for that quarter or previous quarters. Further, if you are a student or international member, beginning in 2010, we lowered the membership rates for these levels and provided electronic only access to the journal. To access electronically, please log in and click on “Journal” to access the electronic, archived journals.
If you are not a student or international member, and you have renewed your membership in time for the current journal mailing, please
email and let us know which journals you are missing.
How do I find out more information on Distance Learning Classes?
We have an online distance learning center, called the Institute for Continuing Education in Art Therapy (ICE/AT) which was opened in January 2010. ICE/AT currently provides 11 existing courses with 3 additional courses coming in the very near future. A course catalog can always be found on our website in the Career Center which is a handy location to bookmark, since the catalog is constantly changing:
